Like Jurassic Park But For Pee

Oh, during the Pick Up Artist last night they ran this pregnancy test commercial, which is incredible.

"Listen, Mr. Lucas, I'm going to need you to cancel everything and start focusing on our commercial. We had a meeting and realized that the only way to sell this thing was to get the Industrial Light and Magic team in on the ground floor. How much do you need do you think to make the CGI pee hyper-realistic? 12 billion dollars? Perfect."

FYI, these commercials were around a few months ago but they didn't say the word pee. The VO just cleared his throat and said "uh, you know". I wonder why they changed it.

Yeah, it's more than a few months old. With the word "pee" and all.

Baby Wee Wee must be so jealous they didn't use any special CGI techniques for his commercial.

I remember I was so shocked when I first saw this commercial because I never expected to see any CGI pee to come falling from the sky onto the pregnancy test.

By the way, you can be a little bit pregnant:

it depends on what time of day they play the commercial. daytime says "you know" and nightime has the ultra racy "pee." and this commercial has definitely been on the air for over a year. you obviously arent watching enough tv aimed at the possibly impregnated.

I'm pretty sure this was a Super Bowl commercial. I remember the whole "pee" v. "uh oh" scandal.
